Aquilani has tallied one goal in 15 Serie A matches this season, while Gattuso has started only one game and his return to action has yet to be determined.
Mallorca, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Real Madrid will try to keep the pressure on Barcelona with a win on Saturday at Mallorca, which would stretch the advantage at the top of La Liga for Jose Mourinho's side to eight points. Madrid moved five points clear of its bitter rivals last weekend as a 5-1 win over Granada was coupled with Barca's 1-1 stalemate against Espanyol.
And another three points on Saturday for Real would pile even more pressure on the Catalan side ahead of Sunday's match with Real Betis before the two heavyweights meet up in midweek in the Copa del Rey.
"We shouldn't obsess about the tie," Casillas told the club's official website when asked about Wednesday's fixture with Barca.
Barca owns a 3-1 win over Real Madrid in December, but Mourinho's side bounced back from that defeat to win its next two league matches by a combined score of 11-3.
Mallorca has claimed only one win from its last five matches in the league but administered a 6-1 thrashing to Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday.
Levante has hit a rough patch after starting the season in top form with the club winning just once in its last four games and the club travels to Athletic Bilbao, which will aim to stay in the top half of league.
Sunday's action includes Atletico Madrid hosting a Villarreal side that currently sits in the bottom three, Osasuna aims to maintain its place in the top five with a win against Racing, while Malaga carries a four-game winless skid into its road contest at Sporting Gijon.
"She is really, really fast; she is skilled; she makes very mature runs for her age, and she puts the ball in the back of the net. She was clearly always going to be our No. 1 pick."

In terms of sports wagering, the NFL is "the most popular game in town." The explanation behind that is easy.
It is called the "pointspread."
Many years ago, NFL games, as well as the more popular college games, used straight odds as a vehicle for betting. For example, if the Bears were playing the Giants, and it shaped up as a competitive contest, the Bears might be, say, a 7/5 favorite. If they were playing an also-ran, it might be 10/1. Well, there is a point where a line becomes prohibitive, as far as betting the favorite. And who would waste money betting an underdog that has virtually no chance? Such a setup did not contribute to promoting betting action.
But in modern sports betting, a "pointspread" is used.
A NFL pointspreads are exactly that, a pre-established point difference between the two sides that will, for all intents and purposes, create a handicap that evens things out, and in doing so, produces comparable wagering activity on both sides of that proposition. So in lieu of a odds figure in which to bet the team to win outright, the Bears might be a three-point favorite over the New York Giants, and a 17-point favorite over the also-ran. Now that the team that is the underdog can "get" points, there can be equal action on both sides.
In sportsbooks, this is usually done with efficiency by charging the losing bettors 10% extra - in effect, bettors are laying 11/10 on those games. So they are actually betting $110 to win $100. If they lose, they pay the "vig." If they win, they simply collect.
The establishment of the pointspread as the corner stone around which team sports like football can be wagered upon was truly what brought gridiron betting into the stratosphere for online football betting .
